TOWIE: Dan Osborne confirms baby news and admits “no more Lucy”!

As we reported last week, The Only Way Is Essex star, Dan Osborne has found out that he is to be a dad for the first time, and unfortunately it isn’t with his new girlfriend, Lucy Mecklenburgh.

We had all hoped the news that Dan’s ex had discovered that she was pregnant after they had broken up would not affect the blossoming relationship between Lucy and Dan, but it would seem that we are set for disappointment. During last night’s episode, Dan paid his father Jim a visit to tell him the news that his ex was expecting his baby, complete with scan picture to show him, prompting the proud father and father to be to share a very touching and emotional scene together.

The conversation began with Jim asking Dan about his love life, to which his son replied that it was “complicated”, adding:

“Since being home from Marbella and I’ve spoken to my ex but I don’t even know how to say it. I’m going to be a dad, you’re going to be granddad Jim.”

To which Jim replied: “Really? Wow see what you mean by complicated,” before asking his son if he was alright, to which Dan replied: “Yeh really happy it’s been hard not to tell you. Glad I can tell you today on Father’s day.”

The subject then turned to the future of Dan and his ex, during which Dan admitted that they both needed to “grow up” and “work at it”.
